Message

PANJAB UNIVERSITYCHANDIGARH-160014

The Panjab University has been making efforts at providing dynamic,

interactive and inspirational learning, experience instructional and support

services with the aim to ensure academic, social and career development of

students.

� The institutional culture at Panjab University promoted by faculty,

staff and administrators engenders a caring and supportive environment so

that participants are able to devote their time and energy to the learning and

extracurricular activities. The diverse community of learners and their

success serve as the driving force behind our decisions, to inculcate a spirit of

inquisitiveness so that the participants become knowledgeable of global

issues as well as professional leaders who are strong contributors to society.

� Since its inception in 1882 at Lahore, the cardinal principle governing

Panjab University has been that the students deserve the greatest

educational opportunities and the highest quality of service. In tune with the

emerging paradigms, we have embarked on a path of rejuvenation to

transform our historic mission of teaching, research, and service into a

forward-looking agenda of learning, discovery, and engagement. In

consonance with this objective, programs and services are being continually

developed and delivered that expand knowledge and skills useful for the

future in order to better serve the nation, students and the community at

large.

Page 8: HANDBOOK OF INFORMATION 2015 - Panjab University

� As technology evolves rapidly in the 21st century, the body of

knowledge in many domains is increasing dramatically. Curriculum

reforms are on the anvil to ensure unparalleled flexibility so that participants

operate in a way that adds value to the lives of students and contributes to

the greater community good and lifelong learners. Networking with foreign

as well as the institutions in our neighbourhood are providing a platform for

guiding the student's discovery, understanding, and decision-making

abilities regarding learning and development opportunities in the formal

curriculum and the community engagement. In addition, we strive for

improving their soft skills so as to succeed in the emerging globalised

environment.

� I fervently hope that prospective students desirous of entering the

portals of this university will find this handbook informative and will help

them to make informed choices.

BRIEF HISTORY AND PRESENT INFRASTRUCTURE

One of the oldest Universities in India, the Panjab University has a long tradition of pursuingexcellence in teaching and research in science and technology, humanities, social sciences, performingarts and sports. The University supports excellence and innovation in academic programmes, promotesexcellence in research, scholarship and teaching. The University is committed to attract and support thebest students and faculty, who excel at teaching and research. For more than a century, it has servedvarious societal needs with distinction. The glorious traditions of the University established during theperiod of more than 132 years of its long service to the nation since its inception in 1882 at Lahore (now inPakistan) are a source of inspiration for the present generation of faculty members and students. By virtueof its age, experience, achievements and philosophy, the Panjab University is a University of nationalcharacter and international stature and draws both faculty and students from all over the country anddifferent parts of the globe. Its faculty includes some of the most distinguished scientists and academicians.It continues to attract celebrated scholars who interact with the faculty and students. Over the years, thereputation of the Panjab University has grown into one of innovative teaching, research and communityoutreach.

After the Partition in 1947, the University was constrained to function for almost a decadewithout a campus of its own. The administrative office was located at Solan and the teaching departmentsfunctioned from Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Delhi and Amritsar. In 1956, it was relocated at Chandigarh. PierreJeanerette designed the red sandstone University campus under the general guidance of the legendary LeCorbusier. Till the re-organisation of Punjab in 1966, the University had its regional centres at Rohtak,Shimla and Jalandhar and its affiliated colleges were located in the States of Punjab, Haryana and HimachalPradesh and the Union Territory of Chandigarh.

With the re-organization of Punjab, the University became an Inter-State Body Corporate cateringto the newly organized States of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab and the Union Territory ofChandigarh. Gradually, the colleges of Himachal and Haryana were affiliated to the Universities in therespective states and the Panjab University was left with the affiliated colleges in the Union Territory ofChandigarh and some parts of Punjab.

The annual budgeted expenditure and income of the University for the Financial Year 2013-14amounted to Rs. 456.94 crores and Rs 276.87 crores, respectively.

The Panjab University, with its 78 teaching and research departments besides 4 chairsfor the research on the main campus at Chandigarh, has 188 affiliated/constituent colleges spread overPunjab and Chandigarh besides Regional Centres at Muktsar, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur and Kauni. In addition,there is the Vishveshawaranand Vishva Bandhu Institute of Sanskrit and Indological Studies (VVBIS&IS)at Hoshiarpur.

SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES

About the School

The School of Communication Studies at Panjab University is the oldest in South Asia, having

started its innings in 1941 at the University of Punjab, Lahore. The founding father of the School was

Professor PP Singh who studied journalism in the University of Missouri, Columbia, USA. The school

prepares the students to perform a vital and challenging function of finding out the truth amid complicated

situations, usually under a time constraint, and communicating it in a clear, engaging fashion to the public.

The school also educates scholars of communications and journalism, and functions as a significant

guiding force in journalism and inculcates in its students the habit of thinking of themselves as leaders for

change and improvement in the profession.

The School strives to adapt to changes in the profession, to respond to new developments in the

way news is delivered and to prepare students to work in different environments. The coursework and

syllabi are regularly updated to be in tune with the latest industry trends. In over 70 years, the school has

produced alumni who work not only in traditional journalism careers as reporters, editors and broadcasters,

but also are public relations executives, media entrepreneurs, advertising professionals, Web publishers

and journalism educators.

Our post graduate/degree programmes - PhD in Mass Communication, Master of Arts (Journalism

and Mass Communications), PG Diploma in Hindi Journalism, PG Diploma in Punjabi Journalism, are

intensive, rigorous and demanding. The quality, vitality and innovation of our programs remain unsurpassed,

providing the foundation and opportunity for students not only to succeed, but to shape the future of

sexual orientation, socio-economic background and more. We offer a curriculum as pluralistic and polyphonic

as India itself and a community of scholars who embody this commitment to diversity and who encourage

discussion and debate.

that include a total of nine programs running for over 10 hours.

The aim of setting up the CRS is to impart knowledge and information related to education, health,

CENTRE FOR SOCIAL WORK

About the Centre

Social Work is the discipline of Natural Sciences; the Social Sciences too have been compelled to

move from pure theoretical accumulation of knowledge towards its application, especially with an aim to

minimize human misery and to promote the project of human development by developing appropriate

strategies at the grass root level. Social Work is one such discipline that has evolved out of such a

realization within the realm of social sciences that caters to the socially marginalized, poor, deprived and

the disadvantaged groups through the experts trained for the purpose. Imparting training in Social Work

has also been necessitated by the growing need for partnerships between the State, Civil society and the

Non-governmental & private actors in an effort to bring all sections of society under the ambit of

development.

The Panjab University has started Masters of Social Work (M.S.W.) degree programme that

combines education, practice, and community service for preparing the postgraduates to work with

individuals, families, groups, and communities in a variety of human service settings. The M.S.W. programme

intends to instill in its students a commitment to improve social conditions and address social problems.

The mission is that our students shall be the job creators and not only the job seekers.

DEPARTMENT-CUM-CENTRE FOR WOMEN’S STUDIES AND DEVELOPMENT

About the Department-cum-Centre

The Department-cum-Centre for Women’s Studies and Development was originally set up as a

Centre for Women’s Studies and Development in 1987 with Prof. Pam Rajput as its Founding Director. It

was one of the first Five Centres set up by the University Grants Commission in 1987. On the basis of its

excellent performance, it was one of the six Centres placed in Phase III by the UGC.

The Department seeks both to interpret Women’s exeriences as well as to change Women’s

condition, through a transformation of consciousness, social forms and modes of action. It visualizes

itself as a catalyst to transform an unjust, inegalitarian society into one where gender justice and equality

would be the norm.

The aim is to create and maintain a teaching/learning environment for feminist and gender

studies, and provide an impetus for sustaining a research community that contributes to the development

of women’s and gender scholarship within the two-thirds world/Indian context. The trine objectives are

to create awareness, to intellectually equip students and to empower all. Teaching, Training, Research,

Extension, Dissemination, and Advocacy are the core activities. It serves as a resource and nodal

Centre for the region and true to its mandate, has developed as a strong academic Centre of teaching and

learning, generating new thinking and knowledge on feminist theory and initiating courses in women’s

studies.

The Department-cum-Centre has taken a lead in the region in introducing the formal degree

programmes in Women’s Studies. The programmes offered at present are :

• M.A. in Women’s Studies

• Ph.D. Programme in Women’s Studies

What will this discipline get you ? It will help in getting jobs in the fields of Government in Development

Sector, World Bank Projects, United Nations Agencies, Human Rights Agencies, Multinational Companies,

NGOs, Welfare Organisations… and many more. International NGOs, such as Oxfam, specialised agencies

of the UN, Voluntary organisations such as The Hunger Project, require gender specialisation along with

skills in making proposals, monitoring, evaluation and reporting as well as understanding of development

issues in the region. The Department cum Centre, through its teaching programme not only sensitises the

students to gender issues and attempts to ensure a commitment to the empowerment of women but also

provides training in all the above skills through its curricula. The emphasis is on practical skill training in

Project formulation, designing, monitoring, budget formulation and analysis and research training normally

given in Research degree courses such as M.Phil. Most significantly, the course is multidisciplinary, which

stands the students in good stead in any field of activity which they may decide to pursue, whether

development, law, human rights or planning.

CENTRE FOR NUCLEAR MEDICINE

About the Centre

Nuclear Medicine is the medical speciality concerned with the use of safe and small amounts

of radioactive materials for diagnostic, therapeutic, and research purposes. More specifically, nuclear

medicine is a part of molecular imaging because it produces images which reflect biological processes

that take place at the cellular and subcellular levels. A typical nuclear medicine study involves the

administration of a radionuclide into the body in order to obtain images of the organs, to perform

various body function studies and to treat diseases. Most of the radionuclide used for diagnostic studies

emit gamma rays, while the cell-damaging properties of beta particles are used in therapeutic applications.

Radionuclides used in nuclear medicine are derived either form nuclear reactors which produce

radioisotopes with longer half-lives, or from cyclotrons/generators which produce radioisotopes with

shorter half-lives.

Page 268: HANDBOOK OF INFORMATION 2015 - Panjab University

183

Radioisotopes/Radiopharmaceuticals have affinities for specific organs, bones, or tissues and

emit gamma rays that can be detected externally by scintillation cameras. Images are created by computers

and provide data and information about the areas of the body being viewed.

Nuclear medicine imaging techniques combine the use of radioactive substances, detectors,

and computers to provide functional images inside the human body by using advanced techniques like

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT).

Nuclear medicine imaging is used for detecting tumors, irregular or inadequate blood flow to various

tissues, blood cell disorders and inadequate functioning of organs. During diagnostic procedures, the

patient experiences little or no discomfort and the radiation dose delivered is very small.

Nuclear medicine technical experts are highly skilled individuals and their responsibilities

include performing in vivo, radiation safety and quality control procedures. other responsibilities which

include operating the cameras that create images including patient positioning and processing that data

for research purposes. The discipline of nuclear medicine produces Nuclear Medicine physicists as

well as dedicated scientists who develop radiopharmaceuticals/radioisotope for the imaging/therapies

of organs.

to cater with the emerging needs of the country to produce trained manpower for handling public health

issues. Public Health is emerging as one of the most significant areas in the present context of viewing

health of the citizen being the important resource and asset of a nation. Major advances in improvement

of health over the next decade will be through the development and application of population based

preventive programmes. Health service delivery systems are undergoing rapid changes. With issues such

as AIDS, population explosion, natural and man-made disasters, pandemics like SARS, bird flu etc.

challenging public healthcare; it has become very urgent to prepare a task force of experts in dealing with

the domain of public health in the world in general and India in particular. In our country, where lack of

basic awareness about health care can lead to making a large section of our human resource as a liability

instead of an asset, the need for specialized programmes in Public Health connot be more emphasized.

if the total number of seats after making this adjustment, exceeds the prescribed number fixed for the

Category Personnel Handi- Victim Fighters

capped

14 4 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 26

seat will be treated as

additional in that course for that year only. The additional seat, if required to be created, shall be created

only for the Reserved category and not for the Open category. Such additional seat, if remains unfilled,

7.3 Preparation of Merit Lists/Normalisation of Marks.

Admission to both the (Open and Reserved) categories of seats shall be on the basis of merit

within each category and the merit list shall be prepared as per these Rules.

The basis for preparation of the provisional merit list shall be as follows :

Marks of other Universities will be normalized to 2400 marks which are 3 years

aggregate marks of B.A./B.Sc. (Gen.) of Panjab University. Similarly marks obtained by the

candidates in the relevant subject will be normalized to 600 marks which is the total of 3 years

aggregate marks of B.A./B.Sc. (Gen.) of elective subjects of Panjab University. The

normalization procedure is explained below :-

(a) The marks obtained by a candidate in B.A./B.Sc. will be normalized on the basis of an

aggregate. For example, if a student has scored 495 marks out of total of 900 marks in

B.A./B.Sc., his normalized aggregate marks (out of 2400) would be :-

495 x 2400 = 1320900

These marks will be denoted by X and called the Basic Merit Marks.

(b) The marks in the relevant subject (i.e., the subject in which the admission is sought) will

be normalized by changing the marks allotted to the relevant subject to 600 in order to

give advantage of the subject to a candidate.

For example, if a candidate has obtained 240 marks out of 300 in the relevant

subject, then the normalized marks in the subject would be :-

240 x 600 = 480 out of 600300

These may be denoted by Y.

Some universities award B.A./B.Sc. degree on the basis of aggregate marks of

B.A./B.Sc. 2nd and 3rd years. In that case the aggregate marks and the marks of the relevant

subject in which the applicant is seeking admission, will be considered on the basis of

marks obtained in B.A./B.Sc. 2nd and 3rd years only for calculation of the basic merit

marks and in the relevant subject.

In some cases, there could be students who have not studied the relevant subject,

or the study of the subject is too elementary to be equated with the standard of B.A./

B.Sc. level of Panjab University in the subject in which they are seeking admission in

Post-graduate course. For such category of students Y is taken to be zero.

Candidates having passed B.A./B.Sc. from other universities with 4 elective

subjects in addition to optional subjects at B.A./B.Sc. level shall not be given any

credit under Y, i.e. Y shall be taken to be zero.

School like system specializing in one subject in which theadmission is sought for the P.G. course.

Explicitly this weightage would be denoted by Z and calculated as follows :

15 Z = X x —— 100

(ii) Candidates who have passed a Special Degree from another University will be treatedat par with B.A. Examination of Panjab University with Honours in the relevant subjectprovided the B.A. Special Degree is recognized as equivalent to the correspondingB.A. with Honours Degree of Panjab University in the relevant subject.

(d) Where no test is required for admission, the final Merit marks of a candidate wouldbe X+Y+Z+ other weightages as prescribed at 16.1 and 16.2. Other weightages asprescribed at 16.1 and 16.2 would be calculated on the basic merit marks X.

In a Teaching Department of the Faculties of Arts and Languages which does not hold a separateentrance test for admission to M.A. Semester-I there shall be two merit lists : first one consisting ofthose candidates who did their B.A./B.Sc. with the subject of M.A. and the second one of those who didnot study the subject of M.A. in their B.A./B.Sc. examination.
